The reason Obama will loose

President Barack Obama is likely to be defeated in 2012. The reason is that he faces four serious threats. The economy is very weak and unlikely to experience a robust recovery by Election Day. Key voter groups have soured on him. He's defending unpopular policies. And he's made bad strategic decisions.
Let's start with the economy. Unemployment is at 9.1%, with almost 14 million Americans out of work. Nearly half the jobless have been without work for more than six months. Mr. Obama promised much better, declaring that his February 2009 stimulus would cause unemployment to peak at 8% by the end of summer 2009 and drop to roughly 6.8% today.
After boasting in June 2010 that "Our economy . . . is now growing at a good clip," he laughingly admitted last week, "Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected." The humor will be lost on most. In Wednesday's Bloomberg poll, Americans believe they are worse off than when Mr. Obama took office by a 44% to 34% margin.
The last president re-elected with unemployment over 7.2% was FDR in 1936. Ronald Reagan overcame 7.2% unemployment because the rate was dropping dramatically (it had been over 10%) as the economy grew very rapidly in 1983 and 1984. Today, in contrast, the Federal Reserve says growth will be less than 3% this year and less than 3.8% next year, with unemployment between 7.8% and 8.2% by Election Day.

The reason Obama will loose
Please, please, let it be true!!
You left off the article’s author: Karl Rove. Accident or on purpose?
Even if he loses in 2011, he will still have won considering that his objective was the destruction of the USA. The damage he has done in four years may take a lifetime to repair.
And we have not even started to consider the Muslim disaster that is on the horizon and that no politician dares to mention for fear of being branded a homphobe and that is being swept under the rug. (I hear no presidential candidate mention it in their speeches)
He’s pissed off conservatives and disenchanted the lefties.He’s toast.
Please
...four serious threats. The economy... Key voter groups have soured on him. He's defending unpopular policies. And he's made bad strategic decisions.IOW, just the one serious threat -- himself.
“Loose?
Please”
I think he was referring to the effect Sarah Palin has on Obozo’s bowels...
later
Looze.
Bump, bump, bump!!!
In spite of the legend of Rove as “the Architect”, the fact is that in 2004 Rove turned what should have been a landslide against a traitorous dilettante into a near loss.
I wouldn't put much faith in Rove's analysis, given his positions on amnesty, the Tea Party, Palin, etc.
“You left off the article’s author: Karl Rove. Accident or on purpose?”
Thanks for the heads up, upchuck. I do not want to give that pig eyed backstabbing sack of suet a ping. I am boycotting the self important poseur, and any outlet which pimps him.
Why do you think that mentioning the muslim disaster brands one as a homophobe? Just curious.
I don’t really know the answer, but you must’ve noticed that none of the presidential candidates dares to utter the word “Islam” for fear that his effeorts will be in vain.
PC candidates talking to a PC America.
excellent post!
and sadly, he knows he’s unlikely to win a 2nd term,
so now he will accelerate his plans.
(and probably support the U.N. creating Palestine in Sept.)
in 2012, i seriously doubt Obama will be their candidate.
(perhaps after a late switch for “health reasons” or something, like in that NJ governor’s race a few years ago.)

Why Obama Is Likely to Lose in 2012
The Wall Street Journal ^
certainly he meant “Islamophobe”.
since everyone (except Obama and liberals)
knows that Islam itself is violently homophobic,
and literally kills gays, according to sharia law,
because of Islamic scripture commanding it.
(just as we all notice the MSM headlines,
about the Muslim group in London,
who put up posters proclaiming the area a
“Gay-Free Zone”.
...oh, that’s right... the MSM ignored that too.)
